OF SEVENTH ST. N. W.

After spending several years manufacturing
clothing In Baltimore, | have returned to
Washington and located at 02I eth ST. II. W.,
where shall be pleased to see all my old
friends and customers, and as many new ones
as desire to get the best made and trimmed
clothing at lowest prices. Our motto Is the
best goods at lowest prices, Wear one good
for year; II they don't turn out as we recon-
mend, you can have your money. We don't
want your money without giving you an hon
est dollars worth of goods for every dollar
you pay us. We do want your custom, and
we do want your influence in sending others
TO us. We desire to build up as large trade
as we had here when serving you with cloth.
ing. We did not leave Washington before be-
cause We had to, but our stores were located
below i, on eth st., and they graded the
street and left our floors Just seven feet above
the pavement. The landlord was in Paris.
Business had been forced OF the streets for
months owing to tho deep cuts on + St, and
on 5th ST. we could get no store to suit us at
that time In the city, and was forced TO move
out, leaving sp'endii business. Sill the
march of improvements demanded the grad
ing of the streets, and Individual losses could
not stand In the way OF public improvements.
IL was great loss to me; but the system OF
public improvements then inauguratel has
made Washington beautiful city. and am
neic to stay now. and TO sell the bcst cloth
ing in the city. Who of the older residenters
does not remember Smith, the clothcr, OF 9TH

were then among the four leading Clothlers
and tailcrs of the city-Wall, stephens ~ Co, ,
Noah Walker & Co, odeOn Hall and Smiths
were the places then. We intend TO make
Smith the place again.
while we are Il little farther up seventh
street than we desired, we could not secure
store lower down. our rents are lower, and
we can sell cheaper, better clothing, at lower
prices, the result Of low expenses, We are
now uTening the early or advanced style of

ORUMMERS' EARNINGS.
How Much Hard-Working and successful
Men Can Realize.

The earnings of travelling salcsmen,
local and otherwise. are a matter ot
more or less interest to every one, and
n discussion Of subject of this char
acter can hardly Du considered ont OF
place in the columns of n trade jour.
nal. Commercial drumming like every
other occupation, is very much over
done. The field is full of smart NEIL,
to say nothing : the great number Of
men of mediocre ability. 1t is much
harder work TO sell goods on the road
nowadays than 4 few years ago; be.
cause the number of drummers has
vastly increased during the pasi
few years and there is
sharper competition among
houses employing them for the same
reasons. Good salcsmen-the men
who command good salaries Is
hardly necessary to say, are scarce.
We venture to say that there are not
ten such men out Of n hundred. Some
houses pay good salaries to such men
in addition to commissions on sales
but no house will employ man OF
salary to sell goods on the road unless
he is q traveller Of extensive expert
ence and known capacity in his line.
Then again there are houses which
employ men only on commission.
Now it may interest some of our
readers to know what first.

up a good trade. is able TO average in

only on commissions as their recon.

TALMUDIC PROVERBS.
Some Of the Most Popular Sayings Of the
Ancient Hebrews.

Some Of the Most Popular Sayings Of tho
Ancient Hebrews.
The experience of the Jew. as
summed up in the popular sayings of
the Talmud, is often on all-fours with
our own. MAKE the peasant King
and he'l shoulder the basket and
"put the ass in the lions skin and he'll
bray" both illustrate the proverbial
difficulty Of making a silk purse out Of
q sow's ear. ''Whilo the oven Is hot
bake your meat" and "when the dates
arc in the press prepare your wine"
bid the Hebrew make hay while the
sun Shines" 'The crooked cedar
walks among the stunted shrubs" and
.the barren palm finds friends among
the unfruitful trees" convey the same
moral as our adage about birds Of
feather. "l'hc plant Is in the seed
and already shows prickles," like 'in
tho opening bud you SEQ the
youthful thorns." reminds us that
the boy is father to the man.
HE forged the iron that fetters
his legs" and "he sharpcned the
arrow that tore his flesh, have refer
ence to that species Of retributive JUS
tice which wc term being hoist with
ones own petard. In this connection
may also bc quoted. ''rhc raven took
fire to warm himself, and burnt his
nest" "When one rope breaks tho
other soon follows" is reminder that
misfortunes never come singly.
"When tho ox's head is in tho manger.
look out for his kicks" suggests the
insolence Of prosperity, and "between
two dry sticks the damp one soon
learns to burn" the facility with
which, in evil company. bad manners
can be acquired. ''When tho thici
can not steal he takes to honest ways
tells Of making virtue Of necessity;
.When weeds are unprooted many o
good plant pcrishes' teaches the old
truth about the innocont suffering with
The guilty; and "Who undertakes
much has undertaken nothing" with
ths converse. who has undertaken
one thing has undertaken something"
